They're only 17 or 18 years old, but most of them have already accomplished more than many of us do in our entire lives.

This list includes kids who are graduating from high schools around the country and heading down some amazing paths; some to top-tier schools like Harvard and MIT, some to tech start-ups, and others to incredible futures in the arts.

There's a young scientist who's well on her way to curing cancer, a blogger who's unnerving Apple by finding out its secrets, and a ballerina who's determined to break down race barriers in the arts, just to name a few.
